===Purpose===
 
Lists the files and directory names in the image  and  can  display file  names of recently deleted files for the directory using the given inode.  If the inode argument is not given, the inode value for the root directory is used.  For example, on an NTFS file system it would be 5 and on a Ext3 file system it would be 2.

|-
+
| -a || Display the "." and ".." directory entries (by default it does not)
+
|-
+
| -d || Display deleted entries only
+
|-
+
| -D || Display directory entries only
+
|-
+
| -f fstype || The type of File System.  Use the -? argument for a list of supported types.  If not given, the default type for  the  platform is used.
+
|-
+
| -F || Display file (all non-directory) entries only.
+
|-
+
| -l || Display file details in long format.  The following contents are displayed: file_type inode file_name mod_time acc_time cre_time size  uid gid
+
|-
+
| -m mnt || Display  files in time machine format.  The output can be merged with the body file from grave-robber(1)  before  mactime(1) is run.  The files will be printed as though the image was mounted at mnt (for example /usr).

|-
+
| -p || Display the full path for each entry. By default it denotes the directory depth on recursive runs with a ’+’ sign.
+
|-
+
| -r || Recursively  display  directories.  This will not follow deleted directories, because it can’t.
+
|-
+
| -s seconds || The time skew of the original system in seconds.  For  example, if the original system was 100 seconds slow, this value would be -100.  This is only used if -l or -m are given.
+
|-
+
| -i imgtype || Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split.  Raw is the default.
+
|-
+
| -o imgoffset || The  sector  offset  where  the file system starts in the image. Non-512 byte sectors can be specified using ’@’ (32@2048).
+
|-
+
| -u || Display undeleted entries only
+
|-
+
| -v || Verbose output to stderr.
+
|-
+
| -V || Display version.

|-
+
| -z zone || The ASCII string of the time zone of the original  system.  For example,  EST  or  GMT.  These  strings must be defined by your operating system and may vary.
+
|-
+
| image [images] || One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with ’-i’.

===Example===

To list the partition table of a Windows system using autodetect:

To get a list of all files and directories in an image use:
+
# fls -r image 2
+
or just: (if no inode is specified, the root directory inode is used)
+
# fls -r image
+
 
+
To get the full path of deleted files in a given directory:
+
# fls -d -p image 29
+
 
+
To get the mactime output do:
+
# fls -m /usr/local image 2
+
 
+
If you have a disk image and the file system starts in sector 63, use:
+
# fls -o 63 disk-img.dd
+
 
+
If you have a disk image that is split use:
+
# fls -i "split" -o 63 disk-1.dd disk-2.dd disk-3.dd
